To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ADELBERT D. GEORGE and At'srix B. GEORGE, citizens of the United States, re siding at Dixon, in the county of Lee, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tablet and Pencil Holders; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention is a pencil and tablet holder for use in connection with a wall telephone, as hereinafter described and claimed.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, cheap and ellicient device, which is adapted to be secured to the bottom of the casing of a wall telephone and to support a tablet of paper and a pencil in a convenient manner for use in making notes of messages and the like by users of telephones.

In the accompanying drawings,Figure is a perspective view of this improved tablet and pencil holder, showing the same attached to the casing of a wall telephone; and Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the tablet and pencil holder on a larger scale.

in accordance with this invention, the tablet and pencil holder 1 is made from a single piece of sheet metal, preferably aluminium, of quadrangular form. The metal sheet is bent near its upper end to form a ledge 2, which is disposed at an angle with reference to the body or main portion 3 of the holder, and which ledge is provided with openings 4 for the reception of screws or other devices, whereby the said ledge may be secured to the bottom of the telephone casing, so that it supports the body 2 of the holder in a downward]y-inclined position. The lower portion of the metal sheet is bent and curved upwardly to form a roll 5, which serves to support the pencil in place.

and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to Without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is,

l. The herein-described tablet and pencil holder for attachment to and use in connection with a wall telephone, said holder being a metal sheet bent at its upper end to form a ledge to bear under and be secured to the bottom of the telephone casing, the inclined body portion extendingoutwardly and downwardly from the said ledge and being adapted to support and hold a tablet, and an upwardly and inwardly bent'roll at the lower end of the said body portion adapted to support a pencil, substantially as described.

72. The herein-described tablet and pencil holder .com prising a sheet metal body having a main inclined position forming" a support for a tablet of paper, formed at its lower end with an upturned roll to support a pencil, and provided at a suitable distance from its lower end with upturned lugs to bear against the lower edge of the tablet.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands each in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
